GENERAL PURPOSE
Lifting operations are performed in different segments, such as construction,
industry and load handling, among others. In these operations, safety is a critical
factor, which requires reliable materials. Steel wire ropes are a key element,
since everything depends on their performance.

IPH produces a wide range of standard wire ropes that covers a vast range
of needs, specially in general lifting activities. Always with the highest level of
quality and an after-sales service attentive to customer’s requirements.

IPH products meet the highest international requirements, as the company

manufactures and certifies according to ISO 2408, IRAM 547 and NBR ISO
2408, thus providing products according to each operation or market segment.

IPH QUALITY
The quality certificate issued by IPH guarantees the traceability and compliance with national
and international standards, which can be applied to the controls carried out throughout the
manufacturing process, from the wire production to the final product.

Structural and control cables

Galvanized spiral ropes for general

structural applications are widely used as
guys, messengers, span wires and all kind
of static uses as an element to increase
structural stiffness. Characteristics and
measurements units on these ropes respond
to standard IRAM 722, heavy galvanized.

These ropes can also be supplied under

other international standards such as
ASTM 475 or EN 12385 depending on the IPH 17
application, upon request.

 LATIN AMERICA’S MOST LEADING
EDGE INDUSTRIAL LOGISTICS SYSTEM

Founded in 1949 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, IPH has become one of the major players
in the manufacturing of steel wire ropes in Latin America, placing itself into a position
of leadership through the specialization in achieving solutions for the highest demands
in the market.

Since its beginnings, IPH developed a business model based on innovation and high
technology investment. Its high quality and customer service standards allow the
company to be present among the most competitive markets in the five continents.

Located in Buenos Aires, Argentina, it´s plant features 45,000 covered square meters
and its production capacity reaches up to 1,500 tons per month. It combines cutting
edge technology, highly skilled human resources and a quality management system
complying with the leading international standards.

IPH’s vertically integrated production process planning involves all steel wire rope’s
components, from its own manufacture of wires, fiber and steel cores for its ropes
to wooden or steel reels and packaging according to customers specifications.
This Integration Model is key to the design optimization, productive versatility and
sustainability and quality assurance of finished products.

In its two modern Service Centers located in Buenos Aires - Argentina and São Paulo -
Brazil, IPH keeps the widest stock of finished goods and facilities featuring state-of-the-
art equipment and processes to provide with an excellent customer service and after
sale support. IPH carries out multiple purpose steel wire ropes slings manufacturing,
cut to length, polyester slings manufacturing, finished product conditioning, lab tests
and certification, supplying the market with the most integral proposal on load lifting
and handling solutions.

The factory, combined with the two sales and service centers, confers to IPH a highly
efficient operation configuring the most modern industrial and logistic system in Latin
America.
